bolo’bolo

P.M.

bolo’bolo was originally printed in Germany in 1983, half as a joke. Fittingly for some of us, it is still the best anarchist utopian vision we have ever read, since it gives full reign to both people’s individual autonomy and to our need to be part of a group.

If you find the word “imagination” or “creativity” coming up in your conversations (or, conversely, if you find yourself thinking a lot about being bored or stifled), if you like science fiction, if you don’t think Parecon would work because of something other than the economics of it, this is a book to check out. As always, there are weak points in this book, but the good parts so far outweigh them that it’s hard to even remember what the bad parts are.
